Nijhof, dr. Annabel Catmur, Caroline Brewer, Rebecca Coll, Michel-PierreWiersema, Roeljan Bird, Geoffrey2024Self-related processing is thought to be altered in autism, with several studies reporting that autistic individuals show a diminished neural response relative to neurotypicals for their own name and face. However, evidence remains scarce and is mostly based on event-related potential studies. Here, we used EEG to measure the neural activity of autistic adults (20 for faces, 27 for names) and neurotypical adults (24 for faces, 25 for names) while they were watching rapidly alternating faces and names, through a relatively new tech-nique called Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation. We presented strangers' faces or names at a base frequency of 5.77 Hz, while one's own, a close other's, and a specific stranger's face/ name was presented at an oddball frequency of 1.154 Hz. The neurotypical group showed a significantly greater response to their own face than both close other and stranger faces, and a greater response for close other than for stranger faces. In contrast, in the autism group, own and close other faces showed stronger responses than the stranger's face, but the difference between own and close other faces was not significant in a bilateral parieto-occipital cluster. No group differences in the enhanced response to familiar names were found. These results replicate and extend results obtained using traditional electroencephalographic techniques which suggest atypical responses to self-relevant stimuli in autism.(c) 2023 The Authors.

De Laet, HannahNijhof, dr. AnnabelWiersema, Roeljan2024The correct language to refer to someone with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder has received a lot of attention in recent years. Studies in English-speaking countries found a main identity-first language (IFL) preference (e.g. autistic person) opposed to a person-first language preference (PFL) (e.g. person with autism) among adults with autism. However, a recent study conducted in a Dutch-speaking country (the Netherlands) reported a PFL preference (Buijsman et al., 2023). The goal of the current study was to gain insights into language preferences in two Dutch-speaking countries and, in contrast to previous studies, give participants the option to indicate not having a specific language preference. In the current study, we asked 414 Dutch-speaking adults with autism, living either in Belgium or the Netherlands, to fill in an online questionnaire about their language preference. We found that over half of the participants had a PFL preference (54%), followed by having no preference (27%). Only 14% of them had an IFL preference, and 5% proposed another term. Having more years of education was identified as a predictor for having an IFL preference when compared to a PFL preference, while being older predicted having no preference compared to a PFL preference. The majority of Dutch-speaking adults with autism showed a PFL preference, which is in contrast to findings from English-speaking countries, but in accord with a recent study conducted in the Netherlands (Buijsman et al., 2023). Implications of this finding for language use are discussed.application/pdfhttps://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HK4VEB7MJXJS99HASE8KX3XShttp://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HK4VEB7MJXJS99HASE8KX3XShttp://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-023-06192-3https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HK4VEB7MJXJS99HASE8KX3XS/file/01HK4VYP70YJQG3BTAP9HKSN5CengNo license (in copyright)info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessJOURNAL OF AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERSISSN: 0162-3257ISSN: 1573-3432Social SciencesDevelopmental and Educational PsychologyLanguage preferenceDutchIdentity-first languagePerson-first languageAutismAdults with autism prefer person-first language in Dutch : a cross-country studyjournalArticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion
